#Slightly increase flamethrower unpressurized damage

The flamethrower half of flamesaw feels really, really weak. I know you're intended to burst, let it repressurize, then burst again; but at that point you're putting in far more work than any other class to get done what they can do in seconds. It's ironic that the "Close Range Specialist" class has to put in more work sometimes than Commando or an SMG trapper when something's in his face while still having to sacrifice range. The chainsaw half is perfect, but the fire could use some more heat to it.

Definitely trustworthy with higher power incendiaries 🥰👍

it's such a pain to fight them sometimes, but pyros do seem to appear on top of a scoreboard a bit rarer than other classes

#

Maybe it has something to do with humans becoming generally better at range

Real ones know top scoring pyro has almost as much deaths as they have kills 💪🔥💯

But yesh this is pretty much it.
Flameslammer can get decent scores pretty consistently but it does suffer from reloading constantly, leading to lower overall dps on average i think.
Flamesaw is just generally only good in close range unlike a vast majority of other human weapons excluding shotguns, which is where a majority of the dino team wants to be and excels at, its weak primary dps doesnt even make it that great at close range dps either, chainsaw part is pretty much carrying the weapon and its a limited resource due to overheating and there being a timer for when you can rev again after unrevving.
To sum it all up. The best part of pyros kit is IMPACT NADES BABY

I’m not sure about buffing the damage because the fire buff to every other classes damage is so powerful

''you're putting in far more work than any other class to get done what they can do in seconds.'' ofc you have to gun is a lot easier to use nearly no need to aim, if you want to buff flamethrower part either nerf the impact grenades or the saw.

or give him 150 hp PrimalSmugfinder

But 150 pyro means no more fat jokes

I know it’ll never happen but I really wish the pressure system didn’t even exist. Was so much simpler when it was just flat damage.

#

I never personally saw the point in having the flamethrower function like an awkward pressurized shotgun, at that point I’d just use an actual shotgun on pathfinder.

It’d make more sense if it was weaker flames at first then ramped up in damage the more you burned your opponent.

just make it the tf2 flamethrower, i think that one is literally just, flat damage and then ramps up the more someones hit with it like max proposed, but what would be the starting base damage? 15? 20? 25??

Just, anything to make it feel less like a blowdryer and more like a flamethrower

If they're in sniffing distance, would you rather tickle them with warm air or riddle them with 50 damage bullets

The pressurized mechanic has always been bad it just feels gimmicky and unfun and its only reason to exist is to prevent pyros from spamming fire which. Could be solved by simply giving him a more reasonable ammo capacity if that was actually an issue (it wasn't)

I don't understand the aversion to letting pyro WM1 when the entire other team's gameplay loop is WM1

Pyro should lose the ability to walk if he try’s using the flamethrower (1.3 reference)

You’d have to like super buff it to constitute slow movement when used

Flamesaw players hopelessly chasing dinos like they're using machete

#

When they finally get close you use chainsaw anyways

Ungodly stupid decision
